  • In the 867 start date, The heirs of Charlemagne rule Europe in Crusader Kings 3! But what if I told you that there is one TRUE HEIR of Charles the Great that has the power to unite ALL of the Europe and all the Karlings under one empire banner? And that he has NO HAIR? That's right, today we are playing Charles the Bald!
    That's what we're going to explore in todays video! As Koifish will play as the King of France, one of the strongest and most broken Kingdom starts in all of CK3!
    This is a part of the Crusader Kings 3 A-Z series, where I play as every recommended starting character in CK3! And this one is the most diplomatically masterful of them all: King Charles the Bald!
    I will be using all the tips and tricks and strategies that I went over in my CK3 Lifestyle guide series, mainly focusing on Martial and Learning! I'm also playing with all the current CK3 DLC, Including Northern Lords, Royal Court and Fate of Iberia!
    In this video I also use a strategy that I showcased in my Diplomacy Lifestyle Guide video! Diplomacy is the first out of five different Lifestyle focuses that you can pick for your character in Crusader Kings 3. But how GOOD is it? It's absolutely BROKEN!
    The question still stands... How did I go about it when I turned FRANCE into the MOST POWERFUL EMPIRE in Crusader Kings 3

      @@thalmoragent9344So Anne inherited the duchy in 1488 at age 11 upon the death of her father. She was married to two kings of France: Charles VIII and Louis XII. She had no surviving children by her first husband so when he died, his cousin ascended the throne and Anne married him (her first marriage contract stipulated that she marry the next king of Charles VIII died without an heir).
      She and Louis had two surviving daughters: Claude and Renee. Anne wanted to keep Brittany free from France, so she betrothed Claude to the future Charles V. But later, when Louis became ill, he cancelled that engagement and betrothed Claude to his cousin and heir, the future Francis II. Anne wasn’t happy about this. She died in 1514 at age 36. Her will dictated that her younger daughter Renee get Brittany but Louis ignored this and Claude became Duchess of Brittany.
      Louis died in 1515 and Francis and Claude became King and Queen of France. Claude was not as active in policy making in Brittany as her mother had been and left a lot of those decisions to her husband. Claude died in 1524 and her eldest son Francis became Duke of Brittany (he did not live to become King of France). The title was later incorporated into the crown and the land became part of France.

  • @bernard832
    @bernard832 Před rokem +81

    The French Pope you were thinking of was the Avignon Papacy. Clement V, a Frenchman, was elected pope in 1309 and moved the papal residence to Avignon, which was then part of Burgundy under the HRE. Rome lost a lot of income and went into decline and unrest. Pressure from Italian political factions led to the election of Urban VI in 1378, but he alienated the cardinals by forbidding them from taking indulgences and the king of France by staying in Rome instead of Avignon. The French cardinals elected Clement VII as pope in Avignon, and there were two competing popes until the Western Schism was mended in 1417.

    There wasnt a time where France claimed the Papacy in itself (nor West Francia but heh thats just France but older) BUT there was a time in the middle ages where the French kidnapped the pope from Rome to send him to Avignon making him closer to France than Italy, at first he was the Legitimate Pope, but the thing is, the French didnt stay in Rome so shortly after leaving another pope appeared and it ended up in a sorta French sponsored pope vs normal Catholic pope war of influence won by Normal catholic pope at one point.

    So I know two theories why Charles was called the bald. The first is the one you explained in the video as with bald as crown- or landless. The other one is that he was called the bald because of his healthy and full hair and the nickname was just ironic.
